History

Biz bleach was invented by Charles McCarty, a researcher at Procter & Gamble (P&G),^[1] and introduced to the American market in 1967.^[2] Redox Brands purchased it from P&G in an auction held in the summer of 2000. Forbes estimated the purchase price as more than $40 million. Annual sales revenue reached about $40 million one year later.^[3]

Biz was recommended for cleaning the skulls of dead animals in an article on the web site of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game,^[4] and the writer Bob Harris reported that, when researching for a crime series, he had been told by an FBI employee that the product could be recommended for boiling skulls.^[5]
